selinexor (kpt-330) and liposomal doxorubicin for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma

Conditions: Multiple Myeloma

Summary: the main purpose of this study is to determine the recommended doses of selinexor in combination with liposomal doxorubicin and dexamethasone for patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma. in addition, the study will assess whether this combination with effective for patients with multiple myeloma.
